Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Basic physiologic needs are likely to be unmet in this clinic's client population. Rationale: 1. Low-income populations often face challenges meeting basic needs like food, shelter, and healthcare. 2. The nurse should address these unmet needs to provide holistic care. 3. Understanding the underlying issues can help tailor interventions and support for the clients. Summary: A: Lack of transportation is important but not the major impediment. C: Printed material may be less effective, but it's not the most critical issue. D: Attendance issues may be due to various reasons, not just non-compliance.
Question 2 of 5
The RN at a migrant health center notes an increased incidence of dermatitis in seasonal farm workers at a local fruit farm. In response to this finding, it is most important for the RN to obtain which info as part of the community assessment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because hand hygiene is crucial in preventing dermatitis. Clean water to wash hands after work helps remove irritants and allergens that can cause dermatitis. This directly addresses the increased incidence of dermatitis among farm workers. Choice B (Proper housing) is not directly related to dermatitis prevention. Choice C (Access to health care services) is important but does not address the immediate cause of dermatitis. Choice D (Access to transportation) is not as critical as ensuring proper hand hygiene to prevent dermatitis.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is conducting a process evaluation of a prevention education program for older adults.Which data source provides the information the nurse needs to conduct this process evaluation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because documentation of client education in the nursing record provides direct information on the implementation of the prevention education program. It helps evaluate whether the program was delivered as intended and if clients received the necessary education. Choice B, client's score on an alcohol screening instrument, is related to outcome evaluation rather than process evaluation. Choice C, results of a urine drug and alcohol screen, is also focused on outcomes rather than the process of education delivery. Choice D, most recent community census data, is not directly relevant to evaluating the process of the prevention education program for older adults.
Question 4 of 5
Which activity would be most helpful to a person in whom a serious chronic illness has been diagnosed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Although a person might choose to do any of these, the most helpful action over the long term is to join a support group with persons having the same diagnosis for mutual learning, sharing of resources, and support. Religious leaders could also be helpful, but many people do not have a religious leader.
